Aye look at that, I want to finish this story so I'm posting another part. Yeah its five days early, whatever. I'm bored and have just been writing for days.
My eyes snapped open. It was no longer dark. I was in the corner of a room I didn't remember entering Laurence was in front of me, slightly to my right. A little girl with black hair was kneeling to my left. I was shaking, badly, tears streaming down my face. I could barely see three figures in the doorway of the room I was in. I could feel the walls of the room slowly start to close in on me. My breathing picked up and I went into full panic mode. I pushed past Laurence, barely managing to not touch the little girl who had been beside me. I made a mad rush for the door. I could hear someone say something to someone but I couldn't make out what it was. My mind was racing, with thoughts and fears and I just knew that I needed to get out. Get out of that room and away from these people. I pushed by those who were at the door to the room and ran outside. My brain to me to just run. I ran and let my subconscious guide me. Eventually I found myself in a clearing with a lake. I rushed over and splashed some of the water in my face. It mixed with the tears that were still streaming down my face. I started to calm down a bit.
It was a dream.
It was only a dream.
He can't hurt you anymore.
It was only a dream.
He has no control.
You don't have to listen to him.
Helpful thoughts danced around my head, mixing with the negative ones from the nightmare.
You can never really escape.
He'll find a way to pull you back.
He was right.
No one loves you.
You're own mother signed you up for this without a second thought.
You think they care about you?
I remembered what Zane taught and started saying to myself, "They're only thoughts. Thoughts have no value. Neither do opinions. Opinions are nothing compared to facts. The facts. What are the facts? You are loved. People care about you. You are not a monster. No matter what I always have one person by my side."
Finally starting to calm down, I took a moment to look at my surroundings. The Enchanted Forest. No one goes in unless they never want to come out. It was a beautiful forest. The trees always looked magical. Especially during the setting of the sun. They always helped to calm me down. Something about the beautiful setting just worked wondering whenever I had panic attacks. I wiped my face. I was no longer crying and the tears had started to dry on my face. I looked at my reflection in the lake and laughed a bit. Irene did I look like a mess. I spooned some of the lake water in my hands and gently splashed it on my face, trying to look at least somewhat like I didn't just have a breakdown when the others eventually found me. I looked at my reflection again and realized that it didn't really do much. I decided that it was probably best if I just swam in the lake for a bit. I snapped my fingers and was in a nice black swim suit and then jumped into the lake (The lake is like crystal clear. Like lake Tahoe but deeper). This wasn't the first time I swam in this lake. I had come here on multiple occasions, all of them after breakdowns. Lunar and some of my other friends knew about this place, despite always leaving me to my own devices whenever I came here. It's not like I wasn't okay with it. In full honesty, I liked to be alone after a breakdown. It's more peaceful. You can really enjoy the serenity after a big attack. At some point I heard rustling in a nearby bush and knew it was probably Hyria or Laurence coming to check up on me. I paid no mind to it and continued swimming. That was until I felt arms wrap around my waist...Hate me all you want for this cliffhanger. Am I going to put my character through more trauma? Maybe... Only I and the future know that answer.
